Services Provided
Game Design Audit
Get a fresh perspective on your game. I’ll evaluate your concept or in-development build, highlight what’s working, identify problem areas and give you clear, practical steps to elevate the overall experience.
Creative Direction
Got a great idea but need help making it real? I can turn your concept into a finished product. I’ll start by clarifying the vision, then create the design, and make sure everything works together for a fun and engaging player experience.
Level Design Audit
Whether working on one level or a whole campaign, I’ll identify pacing, flow, and player frustration issues. Then, I’ll offer clear suggestions to make every part feel meaningful and satisfying.
Level Design Creation
Need new content fast? I can design and build levels from the ground up by starting with clean, playable blockouts and taking them all the way through to production-ready layouts that fit seamlessly with your game’s mechanics and themes.
Game Prototyping
I can create custom gameplay prototypes to test new mechanics, systems, or full game ideas. These prototypes can be made in Unity or Unreal Engine to confirm design goals, show main gameplay loops, and help get stakeholders on the same page.
Scripting
Need help with programming interactive gameplay for various platforms and engines? I can define how characters, enemies, and objects behave, and build systems in Fortnite, Roblox, or custom engines using Lua, Python, and C#.

Matthew Kranicz
“I had the pleasure of working with Stuart at Build a Rocket Boy ... Throughout this intense period, they demonstrated extensive level design expertise, openness and adaptability to iterative development approaches while facing rapidly changing requirements and demands.”
Doug Murchie
“I worked with Stuart at a small start up creating mobile AR/VR games ... He was always ready to explain his processes or give valuable insights no matter how busy he was. Although highly experienced, he would approach his tasks without presumption or ego and would listen to the rest of the team, offering advice when needed. ”
